4 meals rather than 3? Or xtra big snack
| Mon, 06-04-2007 - 4:47pm |
I tend to get hungry - like stomach growling hungry around 3:30 - 4:00 every day.
I eat breakfast around 9, lunch around 12:45 and dinner around 6.
Should I do two lunches or just a bigger lunch? Or an enormous snack at 3:30 - and really, what would be the difference in a second lunch and an enormous snack?
For lunch today at 12:45 I had 5 mini eggplant pizzettes (they were good - they were each about 3 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick).
Then 3:30 I had one enchilada (SB friendly) so that was a grain serving and protein and a glass of skim milk.
Dinner is prob steak and veggies.








I tend to go for eating smaller meals more often, rather than one extra big meal. I eat every 3 hours or so.....
I have a breakfast (fibre one with almonds), snack (yogurt or smoothie or cheese string etc), lunch, (salad, meat, fruit) snack (triscuits/hummous or triscuits and laughing cow), supper, (veggies/meat/sweet potato) snack (treats if I'm not hungry, like popsicles, jello etc...all sf of course...or turkey rollups or smoothie if i"m starved!)....more or less! : )

I have breakfast around 10 a.m. (kids eat first) and then lunch around 1:30 p.m.-2 p.m., snack around 4 p.m., dinner around 7 p.m. and late snack around 10 p.m.
That seems to work for me. Sometimes my snack ends up being more than my lunch or whatever, but as Karen says, as long as you are getting all your veggies, dairy, fruits and grains in, and you're choosing from the Foods to Enjoy list, it's all good!
